| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Effects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) on polarized RPE cells were studied. All of these drugs did not affect cellular toxicity or barrier function in polarized RPE cells. However, we found that there were differences of anti-VEGF effect and permeability between drugs in polarized RPE cells. These results suggested that we might be able to clarify the choice of anti-VEGF drugs based upon clinical findings.
